NORFOLK, Va. (WGHP) – A 10th-grader in Virginia is facing charges for allegedly murdering his parents after he says he became tired of their punishments.

Prosecutors say 16-year-old Vincent Parker attacked his mother as she came out of a bathroom in their home.

According to WGHP, he told police he doused his mother with pepper spray, stabbed her in the eye, and then beat her in the face and head with a baseball bat and a crowbar “until she stopped breathing.”

When Vincent’s father, Wayne, came home, police say his son attacked him with a crowbar and then stabbed him several times.
